The only goal of the game came in the third minute, with Ryan Tunnicliffe continuing his impressive start to life at the Blues with a deadly finish.
The home side were unable to capitalise on their early advantage, though, and had to rely on some smart saves from keeper Gavin Bazunu to keep Steve Cotterill’s side at bay,
The win – the Blues’ third in the league – sees them sit proudly at the top of the table on goal difference from Burton.
